PAPER-BAG MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION .forming part of Letters Patent No. 329,561, dated November 3, 1885.

Application filed June 16, i884. Serial No. 134,994. (No model.)

F0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM H. HoNiss, of Hartford, Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Bag Ma- 5 chines, of which the following description and claims constitute the speciiication, and which is illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings.

This invention relates to thel former of that Io part of a paper-bag machine which continuously manufactures a tucked paper tube from a continuous roll of paper. That part of such a machine is elaborately shown in Sheets 3 and 4L' ot' the drawings ol' an application for Letters Patent of the United States, for a new and useful paper-bag machine, tiled in the Patent Office by Villi-am A. Lorenz and Williain H. Honiss, May l5, 1884, and is fully described in that application. Not all the features of that part ot' such a machine are shown in the drawings ol' this application; nor are all the features which are shown in these drawings described in this speeitication, because the present invention relates to one portion only ot' that part of such a machine.

Figure lin these drawings is a cross-section of the tucked paper tube above mentioned. Fig. 2 is a plan view or" my new former and ofthe adjacent parts of a paper-bag machine. Fig. 3 is a side view of the same. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on the line Z Z ot' Figs. 2 and 3. A is the rectangular part of the former. Under it are the roll B, the roll C, and the pressing-roll D, all three of which are identiual in construction, mode oi' operation, and function with the corresponding parts of the apparatus shown and described in the application of Villiam A. Lorenz and William H. Honiss for Letters Patent of the United 40 States Ior an improvement in paper-bag 1nachines, filed on the same day with this application. E and Fare plates placed respect ively above and below the tucked paper tube being made. These plates are supported by 45 the standards G and H, each standard supporting one side of each plate, but having no other function. I and J are horizontal rollers placed, respectively, above and below the tucked paper tube being made. These r0ll ers are supported by the standards K and L, and have journals turning in bearings in those standards.

M and N are rollers turning on vertical aXes between the rollers I and J and the drawingrolls O and P.

The mede of operation ol" this invention is as follows: The paper tube Q is formed into a rectangular shape around the rectangular former A in the same way substantially as in the apparatus shown in the said application of May l5, 18S-lf. The drawing-rolls O and P continuously pull the paper tube oil" from the former A, and thence between the rollers I and J, and thence between the plates E and E, and thence between the rollers M and N, and thence between themselves, and in so doing the rectangular paper tube is reduced to the tucked l'orin shown in Fig. l. The plates E and Fand the rollers I and J may all be omitted from this apparatus and a good result will still be obtainable. In that case the drawing-rolls O and P and the rollers M and N cooperate alone to reduce the rectangular paper tube to the tucked form desired.

I claim as my invention- '1. The combination ot' the rectangular lormer A, the drawing-rolls C and P, the rollers M and N, andthe plates Eand F, all constructed and operating together substantially as described.

2. The combination ofthe rectangular former A, the drawingrolls 0 and P, the rollers M and N, and the rollers I .and J, all constructed and operating together substantially as described.

WILLIAM H. HONISS.
